Data Centers Embracing Nuclear, SMRs for AI Needs
Electricity demand is on the rise globally thanks to electrification, adoption of electric vehicles, wider use of air conditioning, and the rise of AI-related data centers. In the U.S., data centers are expected to drive roughly half of the overall increase in power demand to 2030, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

NUKZ: The Energy Source That Will Power Artificial Intelligence
Nuclear energy is experiencing a revival, driven by artificial intelligence energy consumption and loosening U.S. regulation, creating a strong catalyst for sector growth. The Range Nuclear Renaissance ETF (NUKZ) offers targeted exposure to leading nuclear value chain companies, returning 73% in the past year and 124% since inception. I am initiating a buy rating for NUKZ, recommending a small portfolio allocation for long-term, risk-tolerant investors seeking exposure to nuclear's resurgence.
NUKZ: Breakout Likely As Nuclear Boasts Macro & Secular Tailwinds
NUKZ offers focused exposure to the nuclear renaissance, with strong YTD momentum and a reasonable valuation below the S&P 500's P/E. The ETF benefits from AI-driven power demand, policy tailwinds, and 39% foreign stock exposure, enhancing its growth potential. Despite high volatility, low yield, and liquidity concerns, NUKZ's technicals and institutional interest suggest a bullish breakout is likely.
3 Nuclear ETFs to Watch as U.S. Policy Sparks a Surge
While investors have generally been cautious regarding green energy since the presidential election last November, the Trump administration has recently provided multiple signals that it intends to boost domestic nuclear energy by a significant amount. In May, the president signed a series of executive orders aiming to facilitate the construction of nuclear plants on public lands, grow U.S. uranium mining operations, and, controversially, revisit exposure limits for ionizing radiation.
NUKZ: Political Barriers Are Falling For Nuclear Energy
The Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF has outperformed the S&P 500, returning 80% since its debut, driven by strong political tailwinds and regulatory changes. The 'Nuclear Thesis' posits that nuclear power is essential for meeting clean energy goals, with advanced reactor designs addressing traditional nuclear power issues. Chris Wright, the new U.S. Secretary of Energy, supports nuclear power, aiming to reduce regulatory barriers, benefiting NUKZ's holdings like OKLO, CEG, CCJ, LEU, and SMR.
NUKZ: Good Way To Gain Diversified Exposure To Nuclear Energy
NUKZ ETF offers diversified exposure to the nuclear energy value chain, including Advanced Reactors, Utilities, Construction & Services, and Fuel, outperforming other nuclear-themed ETFs. Despite its short operating history, NUKZ's diversified mix and capped security weights make it a compelling addition to a nuclear energy-themed portfolio. I recommend NUKZ as a buy for nuclear energy bulls seeking broader exposure beyond just uranium miners, enhancing potential returns, and reducing volatility.
